Your Gum & Hygiene Care

Why Regular Cleanings Matter

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that settles under the gumline and is usually painless in its early stages, which is exactly why routine hygiene visits matter. Our hygienists provide scaling, polishing and fluoride treatments to keep bacteria in check and your gums strong.

We keep every visit comfortable, with gentle numbing options available and a TV to watch while we work.

What We Watch For 

Two Stages of Gum Disease

Gingivitis

The earliest stage: gums become inflamed, red, swollen, and may bleed when brushing. Fully preventable and reversible with good home care and regular cleanings.

Periodontitis

Left untreated, plaque spreads below the gumline, breaking down the tissue and bone that support your teeth, eventually leading to tooth loss if unmanaged.

Other risk factors we screen for:

Tobacco use

Poor nutrition

Hormonal changes

Diabetes

Stress

Certain medications

QUESTIONS from patients

Frequently Asked Questions

On average, a yearly examination with the dentist and cleanings twice a year with the hygienist. Every mouth is different, and patients managing gum disease often do better every three to four months. 

The examination is the dentist checking your teeth, gums and bite and reviewing X-rays for anything developing. The cleaning is the hygienist removing plaque and tartar that brushing cannot shift. They are separate appointments with separate fees, and most people need both.

It should not. If your gums are inflamed it can be tender, so tell your hygienist and they will adjust. We can also use desensitising treatment or freezing if you need it. There is a TV above the chair, which more patients use than you would expect. 

Common, but not normal. Bleeding usually means inflammation, the earliest stage of gum disease. At that stage it is fully reversible with proper home care and a professional cleaning. Left alone it can progress to bone loss, which is not reversible, so it is worth getting looked at. 

Our fees follow the current Alberta Dental Fee Guide and are published in full on our dental fees page, so you can check the exact figure before you book.

Yes. We welcome new patients of all ages, from a child’s first visit through to seniors. You can book online or call the office and we will find a time that works.
